Recently Armbruster was contacted with a request to recreate a turn-of-the-century Outfitter style tent.  The tent was to be installed inside a Montana lodge and used as a showcase for fly fishing accoutrements. The tent was to be set up inside the fly fishing store and set up with cots, stove, and fishing rods.

Armbruster provided a solution that exactly fit the store dimensions and gave the perfect Outfitter style look our customer was trying to achieve. The tent was hand built and measured approximately 8ft x 10ft. Included were roll up sidewalls, overhanging edge, and a stove pipe opening. Armbruster used period correct wooden poles to finish the final look. The customer installed screw eyes into his wooden floor to hold the tent secure. All materials used (thread, grommets, slides, rope, canvas) were all period authentic.

The inspiration for the tent’s design and finishing details came from Armbruster’s original turn of the 20th century product catalog, when we made products for customers heading west.
